New York (CNN) -- Long Island may be far from the Death Star, but that didn't stop Darth Vader from paying a less-than-friendly visit to a bank in East Setauket, New York.
Or at least he looked like Darth Vader, except for the camouflage pants.
The costumed man, with a mask and cape, entered a Chase bank Thursday morning and demanded cash. Although he didn't have a lightsaber, his gun was more than enough to persuade the teller to hand over the money.
The caped criminal then fled east through the bank's parking lot.
Suffolk County police said they are searching for the man, described as around 6 feet tall.

Deathstars' is expensive. Just sayin'.
Yeah, I'm guessing that getting insurance for the second Death Star was tough. The first one, okay, maybe it was insured. The second is doubtful. That was an expensive day.
Wait, isnt' Vadar a Jedi? Couldn't he just telepathicly tell the teller to hand over the money?
And that squeeze thing he did- that should hold everyone in place.
Once becoming Vader's bitch, you have no choice but to drive the getaway car.

You'd think they'd have been suspicious when there was a Tie Fighter in the parking lot.
I find his lack of faith disturbing...

if you had seen the Robot Chicken Star Wars special, you'd know that everyone just pretends to get choked by Vader to make him feel better about himself. some guys have been choked to 'death' several times..

In reply to novaderrik:
Probably the best episode ever.
"Padamame, Panda Bear, or whatever the hell her name is" makes me LOL all that time. And the leathery burnt bacon quote.
